Several steel keys are attached to a base, and the musician presses and releases them to make them vibrate and produce sound. Traditionally made of wood across Africa, this sanza-type musical instrument is crafted from clear acrylic, which allows for a wide variety of shapes, like this model featuring four adorable animals to choose from in our selection. Do you long for a more intimate connection with music, where every vibration resonates in your heart? The sanza is your key to that journey.
